FC Dallas has made two notable player transfers, sending midfielder Alan Velasco to Boca Juniors and defender Nkosi Tafari to LAFC. Velasco, who during his time at Dallas amassed 12 goals and 13 assists, expressed enthusiasm about this pivotal career move. Tafari’s transfer yielded FC Dallas $300,000 in General Allocation Money. The club noted that this transfer was among the largest in its history, reflecting the growth of its player development program. The trades highlight Dallas's strategy of fostering talent for impactful moves within Major League Soccer and abroad.
I'm happy to be here. This is a very important step forward in my career," Velasco said after the deal was completed. "The transfer took longer than expected. We had a few days of uncertainty, but the main thing is that I'm here now.
Nkosi is a player of great promise, and we are excited to welcome him to LAFC to see him fulfill his potential," said LAFC general manager John Thorrington.
Dallas received $300,000 in 2026 General Allocation Money and a 2026 international roster slot in exchange for Tafari.
Velasco, 22, is an Argentina native and played for FC Dallas from 2022-24. The winger collected 12 goals and 13 assists in 62 appearances.
